Accounts Payable (AP) should be reporting on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the efficiency of their processes. KPIs can also determine issues within other departments that may impact Accounts Payable and Vendors. Learn which key processes should be scrutinized, how to gather information to perform the analysis, how to interpret the results to identify the root cause of any issues, and how to identify the steps to be taken to reverse the trend of each KPI.
Yes, time is needed to pull together the reports need to measure the KPIs, but once a company identifies the details needed to perform the research, reporting can be created and scheduled greatly reducing the time needed to perform the work. Additionally, the relatively small amount of time needed to perform the analysis will bring great benefits to the company.

KPIs are a great tool that should be in every AP Operations’ toolbox. Learn which ones would work best for you.
